Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Grill or skillet
  • Tongs for flipping
  • Sharp knife for slicing
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Combine spices (cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil to the spices to create a paste.
  3. Coat the chicken thighs in the marinade and let sit for at least an hour or overnight.
  4. Heat grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  5. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing against the grain.
  6. While the chicken rests, mix yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and parsley to make the yogurt sauce.
  7. Warm pita or flatbreads, layer sliced chicken, drizzle with yogurt sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Use a zip-top bag for marinating to save cleanup time. For added flavor, grill red onions and bell peppers alongside the chicken. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken gently but serve sauce cold. You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, and Greek yogurt can be used for extra creaminess. Enjoy as a main dish, in pita bread, or over salad greens.
